Stunning image of, we are guessing, a stage performer out of the silent film era, or even conceivably a film actress. Zagreb was not Budapest, but it was still a cultural and economic hub of Eastern Europe, and in those early days of movie making, everyone was getting in on the act. Even today, it is not for a lack of film makers elsewhere that Hollywood tends to dominate the industry, but rather it is Hollywood's almost limitless advertizing budget. Just ask Australian film makers who depend largely upon public endowments. Wonderful films are produced, but never exported due to a lack of funding for publicity. But we digress a lot! :)
This was a professional photographic studio portrait, as we can tell from the studio name impressed into the lower right hand corner of the card. Our guess at the era is mostly based upon expression, pose and make-up, though if posing in stage costume, it could even be from the 1940s. Still, we have a hunch that the 1920s is the era.
One of those wonderful, one of a kind finds, in very nice unposted condition.
